664 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 14
Type locality, Hancock Station 190-34, Albemarle Island, Galapagos,
0°55'S, 90°30'W, at 58 fms. Also at Station 201-34, Hood Island; and
453, Gardner Island, Galapagos, 35 to 65 fms.
Platonea elongata new species
Plate 69, fig. 1
Zoarium adnate, slender, unbranched; the dorsal lamina narrow, 0.95
mm at its widest part, while the high fascicles project much beyond it
to a width of 1.50 mm. The fascicles are regular and alternating on each
side of a distinct midline, moderately high (0.40 to 0.50 mm) ; the peristomes all connate in series of 6 (5 to 7), their apertures rounded or
slightly quadrate, 0.09 to 0.10 mm in diameter. There are no free
peristomes or vestigial tubules at the lateral margin.
The ovicell is very elongate, its lobes occupying 7 interfascicular areas
on each side and extending laterally the width of the lobe. The ooeciopore is located in the usual position beside the first peristome of a fascicle,
but unfortunately the ooeciostome is broken away.
The zoarial characters are much like those of P. veleronis n. sp., but
the lobe is much narrower. The most important character is the great
length of the ovicell, covering 7 interfascicular areas on each side, while
in the 11 specimens of veleronis from the Galapagos Islands there are
never more than 3. There are no intermediate conditions presented and,
until contradictory evidence is discovered, this must be considered a
different species.
Type, AHF no. 119.
Type locality, Hancock Station 1064, off Santa Barbara Island,
southern California, 33°30'01"N, 119°02'20"W, at 27 fms, one colony.
Also at Station 1143-40, off Portuguese Point, southern California,
33°44'59"N, 118°22,35/'W, at 16 fms, one colony.
Genus FASGICULIPORA d'Orbigny, 1847
Like most of d'Orbigny's descriptions, this one is very brief, "well
characterized by its shell-like (testaces) branches, smooth exteriorly,
terminating at the upper extremity in a fascicle of rounded, open cells."
(Transl.)
Canu and Bassler, 1920:808, add the following: "This genus differs
from Frondipora in its long fascicles not arranged on a single side of
the zoarium."
